New Initiatives for Clean Water

Two talks on new ways to reduce pollution! Environmental Working Group staff scientist Rebecca Sutton demonstrates EWG's cool new database and tool telling you which cleaning products are safe for the environment -- and for you!

Longtime creek activist Josh Bradt, now with the San Francisco Estuary Partnership, shows slides and describes plans for beautiful "rain gardens" helping to reduce runoff pollution along San Pablo Avenue -- and how cities around the Bay will install hundreds of imaginative new devices to capture trash this fall. The test is an important step to meet requirements to keep trash out of creeks and Bay.

Sponsored by Friends of Five Creeks. All welcome, refreshments!
